When a person feels guilty or knows he/she could be caught in a lie, will that person get defensive and walk away, or try to convince you that the lie is truth?

Watch the linked video of the wife who inadvertently tried to hire a police undercover officer as a hit-man to kill here husband. Listen to her crocodile tears about the fate of her husband (who was actually unharmed) then her constant denials even when shown video of herself paying for the hit. It tells you a lot about the behavior of liars. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32311944

I would say both depending on the person involved.

Guilty people can convince themselves of their innocence, of their inability to be caught, or can have feelings besides guilt, and can get caught up in those feelings and avoid their guilt. And completely innocent people can get caught up in being defensive, give up on trying to convince you of the truth, not because they have something to be defensive, but because something happened to them, or someone they loved and they are being accused and they're frustrated.
